Web Configuration Gateway – Router Web Page Group 1. LAN By default the DHCP server function for the LAN is activated. LAN settings can be modified on this page. With this function activated, your cable company’s DHCP server provides one IP address for your Gateway. Your Gateway’s DHCP server provides IP addresses to your PCs within the range of addresses specified in the DHCP range start and stop address fields. A DHCP server leases an IP address with an expiration time.
Web Configuration 2. WAN This page displays information on the WAN parameters of the Gateway.

Computers This page displays the status of the DHCP clients (lists all computers connected to your computer) - Computer name, IP address and mac address.
Web Configuration 4. Firewall This page allows you to choose the firewall settings of the Gateway in order to protect the computers within your home network from malicious attacks from outsiders. In addition you can use this feature to restrict a computer within your home network from accessing certian Internet traffic by IP address and by logical ports.
Web Configuration Maximum Level of Security This level blocks all the incoming and outgoing traffic with the following exceptions: • Connections to the following services (servers located on the WAN) are accepted: • FTP (port 20/21) • www.(port 80) in TCP • http (port 443) in TCP • SMTP (port 25) in TCP and UDP • POP2 (port 109) in TCP and UDP • POP3 (port 110) in TCP and UDP • nntp (port 119) in TCP All the packets of an already established connection are accepted. 5.

Web Configuration Gateway – Wireless Web Page Group Important - Changes to the Wireless Web Pages should be made from a PC that is hard wired to the Gateway. The Wireless Web Pages Group enables a variety of settings that can provide secure and reliable wireless communications.
Web Configuration Security Security secures or scrambles messages traveling through the air between your wireless PCs and the gateway, so they can’t be observed by others. The following minimum security setting changes to factory defaults are recommended. • Change the default Network name of SSID • Enable mac address filtering by using the Access control list features • Choose WPA/WPA2 encryption See the 802.11b/g Security Web Page discussion below for details. 1. 802.
Web Configuration 36 Setting Description Value List or Range Default Interface Enable or disable the wireless interface. Enabled, Disabled Enabled Wireless Mac Address The Mac address of the wireless card installed is displayed THOMSONACG-XXXX as preconfigured by the factory 11 Network Name (SSID) Set the Network Name (also known as SSID) of this network.
Web Configuration 2. 802.11b/g Security This page allows you to configure the Network Authentication. This page provides several different modes of wireless security. You will have to enter proper information according to the mode you select. A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2 uses dynamic key encryption.
Web Configuration Other security modes available: WPA-PSK (TKIP) This is the default security mode. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is used for dynamic encryption of the data. WEP-Open and WEP-Shared If one of these security modes is chosen, you have to enter a 128 bits encryption key Encryption Key 128 bits The key used for WEP is a 128 bit hexadecimal ([0-9] [A-F]) key. The key is composed of 26 hexadecimal characters.
Web Configuration 3. Access Control This page allows you to ensure security by setting an access control to the Access Point (AP).
